We're not signing CP3 or Josh Smith. Obviously, if we could sign the two of them, get Dwight Howard to play for us for less than max, then we'd be set, but we're still playing our games in reality.

Trading Bargnani, gives us a bit of room to play with, depending on what comes back the other way, but it's going to have to be something at least close in terms of salary, and there really aren't that many players out there (we can't just trade him for a pick- salary coming back has to be about $6.6 million). I can't see us keeping Kleiza. Not that I dislike him, there just isn't anywhere he fits on this team anymore. Gray and Lucas are both 3rd string guys that know our system, are cheap, and aren't going to get a lot of playing time, expect them to stay.

Again, depending on what we get for Bargnani (I don't expect a lot, but we have to do something to match salaries) we're probably looking at needing a 4. Josh Smith, Paul Millsap, and David West aren't coming, and we can't trade Bargnani for any of them. There isn't a lot out there that gets me excited, so it might be a matter of having AJ play some 4, and also either Fields or Gay when we go small. Maybe Acy gets a few minutes/month at the 4?

In terms of a veteran PG I think Tinsley would be a good alternative. He doesn't need to play a tonne of minutes, gives us a veteran who can come off the bench and share the ball, and isn't going to lose the game for us with his defense. We aren't looking for an all-star backup PG, just a guy who can play 12-15 minutes/game without making a tonne of mistakes.

It's tough to know what to look at in terms of free agents until something happens with Bargnani.

Landry fields can rebound very well. What we need is a Vet Big like Brand or Jefferson

After what Derrick Favors did last night, Al Jefferson should've been gone well before trade deadline. They have a budding talent sitting on the bench because they can't figure out what they want to do with Al and Millsap.

They are both as good as gone. The Jazz are letting them walk in the off season to go into rebuilding mode with Favors, Kanter, and Burks. We should aggressively pursue Jefferson in the off season. We are getting smashed on the boards on most nights and we lack size at the 4 and 5 spots. JV is still a season or two away from being a force and Amir can't do everything himself

The only way Jefferson ends up here is with your avatar in Utah.... and even that seems unlikely, well, at least to me.

*Praying* OMG, please make this happen. Jefferson at the 4 with JV? Are you kidding me?

Utah is one of if not the worst 3 point shooting team in the league it could happen and they also need a PG, I could see them pulling the trigger on Bargs in a deal we need him to play at a decent level through the rest of this season though,
